Default Food safe plastic tubing?

Simon C. wrote:
Need to create a long drinking straw for a disabled friend, 3 feet or
so. He's currently using a tube from a piece of medical equipment, but
it's not designed for drinking thru, and has a strong plastic taste -
probably all sorts of nasty chemicals leeching into the water.

Its only for cold water, but needs to be flexible. A decent length
that we can snip 3ft pieces off would be ideal.

Anyone know of any sources? TIA.


I cant think of a plastic that's UN-safe, so its really a matter of
'taste' :-)

and rigidity.
